Good start, but then it gets ruined

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Best movie ever!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I'm usually the first person aboard the "Hollywood needs to stop ridiculing our inteligence by asuming a big wedding is all women care about" but I actually saw potential in this film.It has 2 talented leads (both Hathaway and Hudson have proved themselves as decent actresses to say the least) and 2 main characters who have some substance, i.e. they are not just mashed up cliches. It has a premise, childhood friends get married on the same day, but loses it all, because it assumes the worst of women. Let me explain. There simply is no way two people who were selfless enough to be able to hold on to a friendship for so long, would turn against each other like hyenas over an easily solvable problem. The movie makes our characters denounce the idea of a double wedding (more to get rid of the thought in all of its viewers heads) straight away, but the thing is, two best friends like them, who do everything together, who have shared this dream all their lives, would have had a double wedding and they would have loved it.Making this about the brides being all "this is MY day, I'M the bride" blah, blah is what ultimately ruined the movie. Because from being a movie celebrating friendship, it turned into a parade of selfishness and shallowness, not because it didn't have a choice, but because this is what the men who made this film think about women like their central characters, and that's just sad.The cleansing comes too late in the film to salvage it, as far as I'm concerned. The fact that these two inteligent women come to the same conclusion we came to 5 minutes in the film, that they are sharing their lives together, but only do so at the very end of the film makes for a sadly torpid script.One last thought: the amount of concealed evil exhibited in the ugly games the two best friends played against each other is not telling of feminine nature but, again, it is telling of what the men who wrote this script think about women. And, again, that's really sad.

Two best friends become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day. Bride Wars contains famous names such as Kate Hudson (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises) and Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy) but the film is unfortunately poorly developed and it's full of clichés and you see the ending from miles away plus i found the story kinda stupid i mean shouldn't the girls be happy that their dream come true and they even get married at the same day? Shouldn't that just bring tears to their eyes? But no this is a film that is boring, unfunny and has Hudson eating and drinking for the entire run time of this torture. Anyhow girls will probably like it but guys might actually fell asleep or change the channel for sure. (4/10)

This is the story of two girls who are best friends since their childhood. After their boyfriends propose them, they plan to get married in plaza. Since childhood their dream was to get married in plaza in June. But only one date was available in June month for wedding. So both girls start fight for their wedding. I like this because of awesome story. I recommend this movie to all to watch.

I think an important question to ask is - do you think women actually liked this movie, because it's seems like a lot of women don't. Oh course base on this movie, a woman's ultimate goal in life is to get marriage! It's the only thing that can validate her as a person, even if she has a successful and lucrative career! Keeping a childish dream wedding fantasy in mind into adulthood is completely healthy and not a psychosis at all! And of course after marriage all women have to look forward to is having babies! This movie definitely panders to the lowest common denominator. Popular media is obsessed with convincing people that all women care about is "romance" or their definition of it, getting married, having babies, and looking pretty. Things targeted to women almost always depict self-absorbed, vain, spoiled idiots who only care about getting a man and having some sort of fairy-tale wedding. Years and years of women being defined by marriage and the generations since the Genesis of feminism being raised on Disney Princesses and sexist toys. Not all women are obsessed with the perfect wedding and not all women are like the characters that the two main actress plays. Emma Allen (Anne Hathaway) and Olivia 'Liv' Lerner (Kate Hudson) are best friends whom getting marry. Olivia "Liv" Lerner, a successful attorney who is used to getting her way, and won't settle for anything else yet it is shown that she is supposedly protective and extremely caring of Emma. Yeah right, writers. Emma Allan, a middle school teacher slightly has a meek nature and "gives in" to avoid conflict. I get that they were trying to establish Emma was too eager to please and needed to be more assertive about the things she wanted but that angle really only works when the character isn't acting like a petty jerk. Both been planning every detail of their weddings, since first witnessing a wedding 20 years ago at the Plaza Hotel. Therefore, they both have made it a lifetime priority to be married in the same location in June. The montage of power point photos of them planning it is annoying. They schedule their weddings with New York's most famous wedding planner, Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen). She plays little to the plot, but serves as the narrator of the story which also can do without, as there is no needed for it. A clerical error happens, and they are scheduled to have a wedding on the same day which has cause some conflict. Both will not compromise losing the June date. Eventually, the two women declared war and begone to sabotage each other's wedding hints the movie title card. The movie is over the top, the notion that a passionate female friendship can turn ugly only because of one date in a heartbeat is, sadly, unrealistic. The "true friendship" in this movie is questionable at best. I mean, they claim that they are grand BFFs, but the minute they can't get their ideal wedding they turn on each other? What type of friendship is that? Two supposedly inseparable lifelong friends doing cruel vindictive things to one another for essentially no real reason and when one of the would-be husbands points out just how ridiculous this behavior is this suddenly makes him an un-supportive, un-seeing, insensitive stick in the mud and the relationship collapses. That's a rotten message: implying that a man's role in a marriage is to blandly indulge and support their spouse in all things even when their spouse is essentially hurting themselves. It makes Emma's fiancé seem like a controlling jerk, when in truth Emma is the one making a fool out of herself. The two main guys can be seen as almost equally offensive (but not quite as much), blank, two-dimensional characters. Whose entire existence hings on working and pleasing their to-be wives. They also seem to have flaws so minimal and small they're ridiculous. I half expected them to just come out and reveal that they were artificial cyborgs made to please ridiculous, mean-spirited, and selfish fake woman stereotypes. Perhaps there would have been potential if they truly went for the dark comedy/satire route, but those types of films generally require endings that aren't happily ever after. It seems, however, that the script intends the audience to identify with the protagonists and even feel warmfuzzies about them at the end. Most do not; actually, I'm pretty sure almost anyone anywhere would find the characters appalling, not to mention probably insulting. This women are not heroes, victimizing a poor woman in a Bloomingdales store scene and the following scene where they're being kicked out the front entrance and have an argument outside. Just doesn't sound like really qualify as good publicity for Bloomingdales or womanhood. The film might have been if the writers had explored a potential lesbian subtext suggested by scenes. And the only thought that kept ringing through my head is why these two women aren't married to each other? They are the only people on Earth that I think could stand one another Seeing how this movie was directed by a man name Gary Winick, the movie is so rife with disparaging female stereotypes, yet the story was written by a woman no less. She equally to blame. It is lucky for us that this movie didn't do well at the box office as that part at the end was clearly sequel baiting. They were on purpose setting up a 'conflict' over the day they'll be having a baby or some type of baby shower 'war'. That sequel idea had a abortion.
